Black on red, somebody knew what he was doing when ordering this first-year Sting Ray convertible. Not only does this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette retain its terrific original color combo, but it's also a numbers-matching, four-speed car with Top Flight honors!You want attention, and you'll get it in this great looking roadster. Everybody's got a red Corvette, but here's your opportunity to standout out by keeping it on the inside and presenting the factory-correct tuxedo black exterior. And by the way, we have seen that black is the new red. This deep finish has a great luster befitting a sunshine-friendly droptop. But the desire goes beyond the paintwork. Fit and finish of the fiberglass is in very good condition, the headlights fit flush, the door gaps are even, and the pleat that surrounds the body is crisp and almost sharp enough to give you a paper cut. C2s don't have a lot of chrome, but everything on this car shows rather well, including the bumpers, those ribbed rocker panel moldings, and the unmistakable 15-inch knockoff wheels. Underneath the black folding roof is the bold red that helps make a true Corvette. The bucket seats, door panels, and dash have a great matching appearance. So not only does it look great from behind the wheel, but also you look great driving it, too. Just ahead of the wood three-spoke steering wheel is every gauge you could need all still in perfect working order. This even includes the clock, which is often conked-out on Corvettes of this age. There's even a more modern AM/FM/cassette stereo and air conditioning, so you can keep the top down, blast your favorite tunes, and stay cool any day.Lift the hood, and you'll find a beautifully honest 327 cubic-inch 340 HP V8. This is the Sting Ray's numbers-matching unit, the largest carbureted unit available aside from the fuel injected 327, and you can instantly tell it has been properly maintained over the years. With the correct Chevy orange on the block, shiny pie dish air cleaner, ignition shielding, and Corvette finned valve covers, it's a piece you'll enjoy showing off. But more than just for presentation, this V8 is the heart of a great driving package. On the road the motor has the right amount of snarl through the dual exhaust pipes as you row through all four forward speeds. It's the kind of sound that's perfect for a little Saturday night intimidation, but it never gets old when spending all-day Sunday driving the backroads. Plus, with the power steering, fully independent suspension, and modern Goodyear tires, this first-year C2 is ready to be driven to all the car shows. Complete with owner's manual, this is the great looking Corvette you promised yourself, and it's turnkey ready for the first person ready to grab this deal. Call now!!
